The Faculty Teaching Excellence Awards
recognize Brown faculty members for sustained and continued excellence in
undergraduate teaching. Awards are made in each of the four major areas of the
curriculum: humanities, life, physical and social sciences. The awards are
named for past faculty members recognized for their teaching achievements: John
Rowe Workman (Humanities), Elizabeth LeDuc (Life Sciences), Philip J. Bray
(Physical Sciences), and William G. McLoughlin (Social Sciences).

“I
couldn't be more thrilled to receive the Bray Award, but the real honor goes to
my smart, dedicated, and industrious animation students who go to infinity and
beyond again and again. Their humor, enthusiasm, and enduring friendships
inspire me to explore new ways to share my passion. I'm grateful to the
Computer Science Department for taking the risk to support my work at the
ever-growing intersection of art and science, and to Brown for their
recognition of my teaching practice with this award,” said Barb.
